Lifestyles are vast, unique, and as interesting as the people who perpetuate them.
The affluent lifestyle is something a precious few enjoy, several more hope for,
and many others dream of.
FDR Magazine’s vision is take the opportunity every other month to peer into the
lives of the affluent market from the perspective of the Designers, Architects,
and Artisans who create these unique atmospheres for their well-to-do client list.
The affluent residents of the Western metropolitan markets in Florida include those
who live in upscale communities, spectacular locations waterside or golf front,
and unique metropolitan condominiums. Over a third of FDR readers own a secondary
and/or tertiary home in other parts of the Country and enjoy travel abroad. As such,
their tastes are broad and distinct. While every property featured is indeed unique
and breathtaking, they all share the common element of each being a design worthy
of review.
In advertising, we learn that repetition and/or saturation are the primary methods
of building a brand and causing an action to occur. While many publications can
offer advertisers single access to the affluent market, it is FDR that offers multi-point
saturation for our advertiser’s brand.
With so many print vehicles to reach an "Affluent market" on the West Coast of Florida,
what’s the best value for an advertiser’s dollar? Presuming that the following statement
is accurate "You get what you pay for", please consider these points:
|
At approximately 136 square inches, whether it’s a page ad or a multi page spread,
your ad presence carries a 32% wider footprint than a traditional 8.5” x 11” magazine.

Our publication is sent by USPS to 50,000 highly selective households in 3 MSA's
that meet a strict criteria of Lifestyle demographics for Income, Home Value, AND
Purchase Habits.
FDR prints 52,000 copies of each issue, with
our rates calculated on only the verifiable direct mailed portion of 50,000 (verified
by the USPS). FDR circulates another 2,000 copies to carefully selected businesses
our audience frequents, including Salons, Day Spas, Country Clubs, Doctor's Offices,
on-board private and fractional Owner's Aircraft, Yacht Clubs and Cafés.
In most of FDR’s competitors online media is merely an electronic version of print?
However, we at FDR believe in something different. We believe that the Web is a
medium to entertain with, engage your audience with, and interact in a personal
manner with. That’s why you’ll find these differences within the web presence of
FDR online:
When we shoot a feature story for our print version we also film each room in High
Definition Digital Video. That video is then edited and made available within the
editorial context of the story online so our readers can gain a different perspective
of our feature rooms. Contained within that video is inventory made available for
our customers to engage their customer with.
The Internet Consumer is rife with hunger for immediate gratification, and FloridaDesignersReview.com
caters to it gleefully. Our entire print product is available on our web site for
free, modified for the medium. We simply require introductions of our consumers,
in order to fulfill their requests for more information. Our automated email system
knows who to send information to in addition to the advertisers inquired of. Our
advertisers are copied on these “Hot Leads” automatically, liquidating their media
investment through verifiable sales leads.
With 120x600 or 160x600 Skyscraper units running along the border and a 300x250
or 300x300 square unit, FDR provides our advertisers with more online real estate
than our competitors can and we happily accommodate all Rich Media formats including
site takeovers in special instances.

52,000 copies of each FDR issue will be printed. 50,573 copies will be direct mailed
within the 3 MSA’s including the Tampa Bay Market [Tampa-St. Petersburg-
Clearwater], the Sarasota – Bradenton area, and the Naples-Bonita
Springs-Ft. Myers markets to households that fit all of the following
lifestyle criteria:
• Annual Household Income exceeds $170,000
• Home Value exceeds $500,000 - $1,000,000 bracket
• Purchase Home Furnishings and Accessories
• Purchase Gourmet Food & Wine
• Purchase Foreign Travel
• Support the Cultural Arts
The FDR Rate Card is based upon 50,000 issues direct mailed to this list and will
be audited and verified every issue by the USPS. The additional issues are found
on board private aircrafts, in each market, key Salons and Day Spa’s Country Clubs
and other definitive businesses that match our audience’s lifestyle
The Audit Bureau of Circulation requires 2 issues of a publication before an audit
can be performed. Once FDR qualifies for an ABC audit, we will incorporate the ABC
Audit process into our business model and reflect it in our adjusted rate card.
Of the Regional magazines that provide access to an affluent audience, only FDR
can claim a larger footprint in either ad size or circulation. However we realize
that economics drive many advertising decisions. On a Rate Card to Rate Card basis,
here is how we stand:

• Full Page with Bleed
10.25’’ wide by 13.25’’ tall
• Trim size 10.00” x 13.00”
• Live Area 9.50”x12.50”
• Full Page (no bleed)
8.75” wide x 11.625” tall
• 1/2 Page Vertical
4.302” wide by 11.625” tall
• 1/2 Page Horizontal
8.75” wide by 5.726” tall
